Traveling

I just want to ask a question about traveling. I plan on backpacking across the country and hopefully go to Europe some day so if any of you guys would like to kick it hit me up. Anyways I haven't really been to much anywhere. I have been to Taiwan and Ohio(my birth state) and I live in California so that is pretty much it for me. Where have you been and what crazy stuff have you done out of state or whatever. If you have any tips and pointers I'll be glad to listen.
